Update 2: I got tired of Tumblr, I moved back to WordPress!
Update: I got tired of Tumblr search, I set up Wibiya’s toolbar which has Google Search, and it works just fine! Tumblr search? ditched!

This blog runs on Tumblr. Why am I trashing Tumblr then?
Sorry guys, but it is time to put your act together and fix this!

I used to have my blog in WordPress, I fell in love with Tumblr and moved here. Since the beginning  I noticed Search was not working, but I thought it was a temporary glitch.

It’s now over 3 months since I am here, and Search still Sucks!

For a blog, Search is crucial! Guys, I know I am not the only one unhappy about this! If you want your community to keep growing you have to pay attention to things like this and fix them!

I have a fan page in Facebook for my company Dade Computers. Whenever I receive a Like, I send the person a thank you message where I offer to help them with their computer questions.

I was doing that today, when I received a pop up from Facebook warning me that if I continued to do that my fan page could be suspended.

Obviously they think I am sending spam. They have a sophisticated system in general, but that technology is definitely not been used to detect spam, since a very low tech detection system could show I am not sending spam at all. They are probably just counting the number of messages been sent in a period of time.

I will have to stop sending the thank you messages, or at least I will have to send them as I receive the likes, which is harder.

To all my followers, sorry if I am rude now, Facebook forces me to

Update 08/16/2011: I just ditched Tumblr and went back to WordPress! I got tired of the limitations of Tumblr, no easy way to embed code, weird search tool, can’t upload pictures, just too much! I am happy in WordPress again!

My blog was a WordPress blog, but the thing is I am not a full fledge blogger. I don’t write lengthy posts frequently. After Trying Tumblr for a little I feel this is home for me. It is an environment that work well for short posts.

I like twitter, but sometimes I want to say more, but I don’t like using services like longtweet because I feel like I don’t have control of my posts, and I cannot easily update them. With Tumblr I can automatically post to twitter, so that problem is solved for me as well.

I am sorry for the people that had posted comments in my old blog, but If I did not move from WordPress, my blog was going to have very little activity.
